A large group of Pakistani cricketers arrived in Dhaka from Dubai this morning for the semi-finals. While Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal are slated to appear for Dhaka Gladiators, hard-hitting opener Awais Zia will join the senior pros in the same team. Chittagong Kings will have Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz. Though Chittagong left out of the tournament on a late night decision from the BPL governing body. Meanwhile, Mohammad Hafeez is set to play for Khulna Royal Bengals.

Except Afridi and Ajmal, none of the others were on the players’ auction list.
